    What is the worst thing that has ever happened to you in a fitting room?

    Fitting rooms, dressing rooms, whatever you want to call them are in most clothing stores.  The majority of us have used them although there are some people I know who buy clothes and wait to try them on at home.  Today,  we are asking you to tell us what is the worst thing that ever happened to you in one. Do you have a story to share? I think probably the worst thing to happen to me, other than cruel self-judgment, was the time that my bra strap broke on one side. Just snapped. There was no repairing it. And the larger-breasted readers will empathize with me when I say…

    What color is or was your hair?

    Hair color. Some of us have been the same color all our lives, others have changed multiple times. Would you care to share what color yours is or what is was? We would love to hear your hair journey and if you scroll down, you will hear about ours. I was born and will die a redhead.
